About this deal
Graduate Mark, still lingering in the arena, has set himself up as the John Motson of Jenga. “There’s some interesting techniques here,” he says, with only a trace of irony. “One hand, two hands…” He even manages to muster up some Mottie-esque indignation on behalf of the paying punter. “They’re just not entertaining the fans,” he grumbles, looking at the bemused bar girl.
With the Giant Jenga game running way over time and the drinks budget, something had to be done to keep the teams amused while waiting for their heat. Bar billiards and darts are nowhere to be seen, so Building hit on a brilliant idea: more Jenga. Mini Jenga this time in which the teams play on their own and the one with the highest tower wins. Here are the teams’ vital statistics, with expert game analysis. Tired of the regular old plain wood Jenga? Or maybe you’ve got a birthday coming up for someone in your life to absolutely adores the game of Jenga.I kept all the “Jenga Classic Wannabees” out of the list. Every single Jenga set listed here offers unique value, an interesting twist, or an awesome variation.
What the pundits say With budget no object, the money guys can loosen up and unleash their wildest ambitions. But, then again, the instinct to value-engineer does run deep and there’s no point building unnecessarily high, is there? What the pundits say Not expecting much from this lot, apart from maintaining a superior attitude and criticising everybody else’s attempts Most of the supplies comes from the Dollar Tree but a couple come from Walmart. All the Walmart products I used are a dollar or less so same price as a dollar store but an extra trip.
The art of destruction
This tree will go in a girl’s room but you can follow the same instructions and make a tree for your kitchen. Change the colors and use the farmhouse calendar pieces to make your ornaments. It would look adorable! To rub salt in the wound, the fast-moving Sophie then plays her go in a record 10 seconds. “Oh, right,” says David, slightly humiliated. “I probably took some of the weight off.” Theme-specific Jenga sets make the perfect gift for fans of that specific theme. For your friends who didn’t know this type of Jenga even existed — imagine just how surprised they’ll be when they unwrap one of these.
As the tower passes the 1.20m mark, swaying wildly every time anyone so much as glances at it, it seems that each go will be the last. The room holds its breath. It’s incredibly tense. And incredibly, the tower reaches 1.40m before Stephen brings it crashing down and the hosts are out in the first round. What the pundits say Will want to prove there’s more to demolition than spectacular collapses … won’t they? So here it is. The clash of the titans. The team led by David Williams, the only man to play Jenga in a sharp suit and tie, versus a collection of inebriated structural engineers. Who are outside having a fag. The sledging begins immediately on their return.
